I just dont get how people can say she isnt needed before she airs. You dont know what her intended purpose is to be able to say she doesnt serve one.

Why is it of all the shows, Days fans are the most unwelcoming to fresh blood and new characters? Then will pretend to have loved the fresh blood the whole time once they're proven wrong?

Can you imagine if we had had the internet back when Marlena first joined the show? "We don't need a new character, she's going to take time away from my favorites." "She's not a Horton." "We don't need a new psychiatrist on the show, we already have Laura Horton."

I'm always ready to give a new character a chance. I may end up not liking them, but I'm not going to pre-judge before they ever have a scene.

It's one thing if the spoiler read "She's playing Chad's mother, who will seduce Bo and push Hope down a well and have a three way with Bo and Carly, while secretly working for Stefano to obtain mystical Brady pyramids that will freeze the world." But its just "she's playing his mother". How can anyone form an opinion with so little information?
